MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio, Oct. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Preformed Line Products Company (NASDAQ: PLPC) today reported financial results for its third quarter and first nine months of 2020.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $13.0 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, compared to $8.0 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2019.

Net sales in the third quarter of 2020 increased 7% to $127.5 million, compared to $119.2 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $27.1 million, or $5.43 per diluted share, compared to $17.7 million, or $3.48 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2019.

Net sales increased 5% to $347.9 million for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $331.2 million in the first nine months of 2019.

Currency translation rates unfavorably impacted net sales by $3.7 million for the quarter and $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  Currency had an unfavorable impact on net income of $.3 million for the quarter and $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2020.

Rob Ruhlman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The record quarterly net sales, net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020 are a testament to the hard work and dedication of every employee at PLP.  COVID-19 has created new challenges for us to deal with as a company but also new opportunities.  Our number one priority continues to be the protection of our employees and their families through rigorous safety measures that we have put in place due to COVID-19.  The sacrifices made by our employees this year have enabled PLP to meet customer requirements in all regions, most notably the U.S. market.  One opportunity created by COVID-19 has been the increase in PLP-USA sales made possible by the significance of our uninterrupted U.S. based manufacturing facilities in Albemarle, North Carolina and Rogers, Arkansas.  Maintaining and growing our U.S. manufacturing footprint enables PLP to provide excellent customer service to our U.S. and export customer base.  The challenges brought on by COVID-19 may be with us for some time.  While the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our future operations is unknown, we will continue to focus on the safety and well-being of our employees, their families, our customers and our valued suppliers while continuing to provide the high quality products and services our customers appreciate."
